Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup greek yogurt (I prefer Fage Total 0% for the best thick consistency)
- 1 extra large egg (room temperature, about 70°F, helps the batter emulsify)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup protein powder (I always use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey)
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the room temperature egg, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, protein powder, coconut sugar, and baking powder. Mix vigorously with a whisk or spatula for about 1-2 minutes until you achieve a smooth, thick batter with no lumps.
- Transfer the batter into your prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it evenly across the pan.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you’ll know they’re ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool the brownies in the pan for at least 15 minutes after removing them from the oven.
